Ralph Goers commented on VFS-336:
---------------------------------

I'm not sure I even understand the point of the mode. The RandomAccessContent 
interface doesn't have any methods for writing so I don't know what would use 
it.

> AbstractRandomAccessContent.mode is never used

> The mode field in AbstractRandomAccessContent is never used.
> The field is an enum RandomAccessMode with values READ and READWRITE, so one 
> would expect the mode to be checked by the concrete subclasses.
> The field could be made protected to allow subclasses to use it.
> Or perhaps protected checkRead/checkWrite methods could be added which throw 
> an Exception if the operation is not permitted
